SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 500,169, dated June 27,1893. Application tiled December 17, 1892. Serial No. 455,448. (Nomodel.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEONARD TREMMEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Walton, in the county'of Delaware and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Cellar-Window, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to cellar windows: and it has for its object toprovide an improvement in windows of this character. which shall possessspecial strength and shall be adapted for summer and winter use alike.It is well known that the weight which settles on the ordinary woodenframes of cellar windows,and which therefore lose their shape and thesashes thereof in time cannot be moved, and with particular reference tothis point the present invention contemplates a strong frame whichalways keeps'its shape and allows the sashes thereof to be manipulatedas found necessary. The window is so constructed as to allow for a freecirculation of air during the summer and for keeping out the cold airand frost of winter.

With these and other objects in view which will readily appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in thenovel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinaftermore fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings z-Figure 1 is a perspective view of acellar window, showing the outer sash swung open and the inner sashclosed. Fig. 2 is a front elevation from the outer or screen side of thewindow. Fig. 3 is 'a central vertical transverse sectional view of thewindow showing both sashes closed. Fig. 4 is a similar View showing bothsashes open; Fig. 5 is a detail in perspective of the hinge joint forboth sashes. Fig. 6 is adetail view of one of the screen clamping'strips. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view of the beveled joint of theinner sash with the internal rib or flange. Fig. 8 is a detail viewshowing one of the spring key fastenings.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, A represents an open rectangularmetallic window frame, that is designed to be arranged horizontally inposition within a wall at the usual place where cellar windows arelocated. The said open rectangular frame is provided at opposite innerends with the perforated lugs B, which are aligned with.

similar lugs In, of the separate rectangular extension frame O, which issecurely bolted or clamped to main frame A, by means of the bolts Dpassing through the meetinglugs. The said lugs are built into the wall`and serve to hold the sectional frame firmly in position within thewall, and between the two sections at their meeting edges is interposeda suitable packing strip d, so as to keep out frosty air from within thewindow frame. The two frames A, and C, when clamped together comprise aframe of the necessary width for the wall in which the sameis placed.The said frame A, which is oblong as well as rectangular, is provided ata point adjacent to the meeting edges of both frames with the internalinwardly projecting continuous rib or iiange E, which is designed to bearranged within and at the central point between the outer edges of thetwo frames.

Projecting outwardly from one side of the upper portion of thecontinuous rib or fiange E, are the hinge eyes F, which loosely receivethe opposite ends of the sliding hinge rod f, which is also designed toengage corresponding hinge eyes G, at the upper edge of the innermetallic swinging sash H. The inner' swinging sash H, is providedadjacent to the hinge eyes G, thereof with the notches h, working overthe hinge eyes ofthe rib or flange, and is designed to have the eyes G,at one side of and in alignment with the eyes F, so that by grasping thecentral finger portions f of said hinge rod, and sliding the same ineither direction, to first disengage one end thereof from a pair of eyesand then from the other eyes, the said inner sash can easily be removed,or on the other hand easily placed in position, while at the same timeavoiding ordinary hinge lugs which usually provide permanent hingefastenings.

The inner swinging sash H, is provided with a series of light openingsI, which are closed by the ordinary window lights J, to furnish thenecessary light to the cellar, and said inner sash is further providedat its inner side with the beveled Bange K which registers with thebeveled edge 7e, of the internal rib or flange so as to form a perfectlytight joint when closed. The lower edge of the inner sash is notched asat L, so as to pass the eye IOO Z, projecting upwardly from the bottomof the frame A,and" adapted to receive `a spring fastening key Z', whenthe inner sash is closed to hold the same, until said key is removed. Aswinging hook Z2, is loosely connected to the lower end of said swingingsash so as to hold the same open as will be described.

The inner or cellar side of the window frame is inclosed by the outerswin ging sash H. The

outer swinging sash M, is larger than the inner sash H, but is aduplicate construction thereof in every particular and is hinged to theupper edge of the frame A, by the sliding hinge rod f, which engagessimilarly arrangedr nected to the lower end ofy theouter sash H',

and when the said sash i` swung up to open;` the window the -said hookZ3, is hooked into engagement with a suitablel loop or eye attached tothe floor or cellar ceiling. the outer swinging sash H', is opened, theinner swinging sash is also swung up and is held suspended by meansofits swinging hook Z2, engaging an eye or loop M, projecting fromi theinside of the outer sash H'. In this posi-` tion with both sashesswungup` and open, a: free circulation of air is allowed to pass through thewindow frame into the-cellar;

Arranged to be removably securedA withini the windowvframe totheopposite side of theA internal ribortlange E,from theinner sashl is thescreen N.. The screen N, is cut in the necessarysize to tit within thewindow frame and over the pin eyes n, projecting outwardlyf from-thatside of the internalrib or flanges Against the upper and lower edges ofthe screen are clamped thev opposite clamping;A strips O. Theclampingstrips O, are provided? withfthe notches 0, which embracesaidlpin; eyes so as to allow the locking; pins P,A to be insertedthrough said eyes in front of said.

locking strips thereby holding the screenf lirmlyand removably inposition.`

In order to prevent Water from running; fromthe-outside throughthewindow frame, I: employ a beveled. or inclined block Q, whichi isarranged within the extension section (Landi has the highend thereofresting against the lower edge of the screen sothat water cannotpossibly find an entrance through the wine` dow.

Now it will be readily seen that inwinteri` the screen may be removed ifsoK desired, andi the two duplicate sashes locked firmly in al closedposition. A warmvair space will therefore,u be formed between the two.sashes, so` that the cold from the outside cannot penetrate into thecellar. On the other hand in1 summer the two sashes may be swungupand.1V f

culation of air admitted to the cellar through the screen whichkeepsaout foreign matter, flies, &c.

Changes in the form, proportion and .the minor details of constructionmay be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificingany'ofithe advantages of this invention.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is
